The problem is that MSI's is also one of the most expensive 650i boa

Zalman has redesigned their Reserator, and are aiming for zero noise. The pump is absolutely silent, and there are no fans on the radiator to make noise. As X-bit Labs discovered in their testing, this change of focus has lead to a degradation in the performance of the cooler, especially when the optional waterblock for the VGA is installed and running.
